Modern Hebrew Bible
1The wicked man fleeth, when no man pursueth: but the just, bold as a lion, shall be without dread.
1נסו ואין רדף רשע וצדיקים ככפיר יבטח׃
2For the sins of the land many are the princes thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged.
2בפשע ארץ רבים שריה ובאדם מבין ידע כן יאריך׃
3A poor man that oppresseth the poor, is like a violent shower, which bringeth a famine.
3גבר רש ועשק דלים מטר סחף ואין לחם׃
4They that forsake the law, praise the wicked man: they that keep it, are incensed against him.
4עזבי תורה יהללו רשע ושמרי תורה יתגרו בם׃
5Evil men think not on judgment: but they that seek after the Lord, take notice of all things.
5אנשי רע לא יבינו משפט ומבקשי יהוה יבינו כל׃
6Better is the poor man walking in his simplicity, than the rich in crooked ways.
6טוב רש הולך בתמו מעקש דרכים והוא עשיר׃
7He that keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that feedeth gluttons, shameth his father.
7נוצר תורה בן מבין ורעה זוללים יכלים אביו׃
8He that heapeth together riches by usury and loan, gathereth them for him that will be bountiful to the poor.
8מרבה הונו בנשך ובתרבית לחונן דלים יקבצנו׃
9He that turneth away his ears from hearing the law, his prayer shall be as abomination.
9מסיר אזנו משמע תורה גם תפלתו תועבה׃
10He that deceiveth the just in a wicked way, shall fall in his own destruction: and the upright shall possess his goods.
10משגה ישרים בדרך רע בשחותו הוא יפול ותמימים ינחלו טוב׃
11The rich man seemeth to himself wise: but the poor man that is prudent shall search him out.
11חכם בעיניו איש עשיר ודל מבין יחקרנו׃
12In the joy of the just there is great glory: when the wicked reign, men are ruined.
12בעלץ צדיקים רבה תפארת ובקום רשעים יחפש אדם׃
13He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper: but he that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy.
13מכסה פשעיו לא יצליח ומודה ועזב ירחם׃
14Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind, shall fall into evil.
14אשרי אדם מפחד תמיד ומקשה לבו יפול ברעה׃
15As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people.
15ארי נהם ודב שוקק משל רשע על עם דל׃
16A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.
16נגיד חסר תבונות ורב מעשקות שנאי בצע יאריך ימים׃
17A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him.
17אדם עשק בדם נפש עד בור ינוס אל יתמכו בו׃
18He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
18הולך תמים יושע ונעקש דרכים יפול באחת׃
19He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness shall be filled with poverty.
19עבד אדמתו ישבע לחם ומרדף רקים ישבע ריש׃
20A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent.
20איש אמונות רב ברכות ואץ להעשיר לא ינקה׃
21He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth.
21הכר פנים לא טוב ועל פת לחם יפשע גבר׃
22A man, that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him.
22נבהל להון איש רע עין ולא ידע כי חסר יבאנו׃
23He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him.
23מוכיח אדם אחרי חן ימצא ממחליק לשון׃
24He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer.
24גוזל אביו ואמו ואמר אין פשע חבר הוא לאיש משחית׃
25He that boasteth, and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed.
25רחב נפש יגרה מדון ובוטח על יהוה ידשן׃
26He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved.
26בוטח בלבו הוא כסיל והולך בחכמה הוא ימלט׃
27He that giveth to the poor, shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence.
27נותן לרש אין מחסור ומעלים עיניו רב מארות׃
28When the wicked rise up, men shall hide themselves: when they perish, the lust shall be multiplied.
28בקום רשעים יסתר אדם ובאבדם ירבו צדיקים׃
